Fuel Me Once, Shame on You

One hot summer evening, Larry and I went out together. I picked him up at his apartment and we went out for a night on the town. We had a good dinner and shot pool.

When I drove us to a gas station to fill up my tank, Larry offered to pump the gas for me. I asked him to fill it.

After a couple of minutes, I heard a weird splashing noise from my back seats and smelled the sharp aroma of gasoline. I looked behind my seat and saw Larry pouring gas directly through my open back window, into my car!

Amelia Bedilia was a character in a series of children's books about the shenanigans of a maid who worked for a rich couple and was a tremendous literalist. For instance, if you said "I'm all tied up", she'd come to your house with a knife to cut you out.

The couple would get annoyed and want to fire her, but her saving grace was she made fantastic pies, and with one bite they'd forget why they wanted to fire her.
